Role Detail
The Office Services Assistant (referred to internally as Business Services Coordinator) is the perfect role for a customer-focused organisational superstar to gain broader office operations experience and take their career to the next level.
As part of our friendly Business Services dream team, you will assist the Business Services & Hospitality Manager with our day-to-day operations. You can expect your day to vary from managing our premium premises and equipment, being the face of the firm for clients and staff, coordinating exciting local and national projects, and generally being integral to our success!
Since providing high quality administrative and business support will be your bread and butter, administration or office coordination experience will be ideal in order to hit the ground running. However, candidates with hospitality or retail backgrounds who’ve recently completed administrative qualifications and have leadership experience will also be highly regarded.
Please note law students seeking a pathway into a legal career may prefer to explore our Clerkship and Graduate programs.
